The attack was made by a considerable force and indications show that important preparations were made for it. I'misual precautions were immediately taken along the whole sector of the front as soon as the German in tent ion was known. An extremely heavy hostile bombardment with poison gas shells opened during the course of the night and lasted until 5 o'clock in the morning. At that houf the tnemy infantry dashed forward, preceded by storm troops which had been brought to the scene especially for the attack, after preliminary training on ground similar to the sector held by the American troops. The assault was over a line 2000 yards in length and at several places the enemy succeeded in entering the American lines. They even entered and occupied Seicheprey, where the Americans holding that position-offered the most stubborn defense.

I'nless recent operations have been feints, it is probable that the com-iiig week will witness two great turning movements by the Germans. One probal.iy will pivot on the village of I Hobsvo. northwest of eBthune. on the nort:i side of the Soinnie salient. Attacks Drawn Off The purpose of these movements will lie to cut deep into the Allied linen on each side of the promontory tha: projects out into German held ten lory and terminates on the old Arras-Lens front. The Gentians have atempted two great frontal attacks on the intense of Lens and Arras, but i thej have been repulsed with terrible lossi"s to the attackers. These losses were inflicted upon the enemy before he leached the stronger allied positions in that sector and since the second deteat at Festubert and Givenchy. Jhe Germans have not cared to take up the task of driving the Canadians from their positions along Vimy Ride and on each end of that great naturaf bulwark before Arras.

On the line held by the French from Albert south to Montdidier and thence eas: to the old abttle line, there has their retirement at Seicheprey. the Americans organized, with the French, a counter attack which was carried out brilliantly, driving the Germans out of the village and taking a number of prisoners. The fighting did not cease until late in the afternoon. The severest encounters occurred in the Renneres wood, where the Germans had taken a firm hold at dawn notwithstanding the most streuuos defense by small bodies of Americans staticned there. The French an American troops joined in the counter attack on this section of the line, eventually succeeding in ousting the enemy.
